At this moment, the commander of the Paraguayan Navy, Vice Admiral Cristian Rotela, announces the conclusion of the ceremony of the commander-in-chief of the nation's armed forces, the President of the Republic, Santiago. Rest at the discus. Next, the Commander of the Paraguayan Navy, Vice Admiral Cristian José Rotela Valdés, will present an institutional gift to His Excellency, the President of the Republic and Commander-in-Chief of the nation's armed forces. This date allows us to recognize and highlight the work of the men and women who are part of the Paraguayan Navy , one of the cornerstones of the nation's armed forces and deeply connected to the history of our country. At this moment, the Commander of the Paraguayan Navy, Vice Admiral Cristian Rotela, presents the award to the Commander-in-Chief of the nation's armed forces, as part of the commemoration of Paraguayan Navy Day. This day brings together national authorities, military officials, non-commissioned officers, naval personnel, and special guests in a ceremony that seeks to pay tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to serving the nation. And this type of celebration also allows us to look back, remember our history and at the same time focus on the challenges that the institution currently faces, as it will take an official photograph on Paraguayan Navy Day, on this date of recognition to an institution whose history is closely related to the rivers and the very formation of our nation. Paraguay is a landlocked country, but rivers have historically been fundamental to our communication and trade. This is what was mentioned in this ceremony, and the development of the Paraguay and Paraná rivers constitute strategic routes for the country and form part of an important regional connection. Therefore, the presence and preparation of a naval institution takes on a special significance for our country. We see it, we observe the various authorities. The Minister of Justice, Rodrigo Nicora Cbar Benítez, is present. Also present were the permanent secretary minister of Codena, the various commanders, and a photograph was taken. Let's see if the President of the Republic makes the usual tour during this naval review. We are waiting at this site, with the recognitions already incorporated, which is what this special day of special significance for the armed forces has to do with, on this day of utmost importance. The Paraguayan Navy, which has a long tradition within the armed forces, has had members throughout national history participate in various moments that profoundly marked our country. This participation in today's commemoration of Paraguayan Navy Day allows us to recognize and highlight the work of the men and women who are part of this institution, one of the branches of the nation's armed forces, and which has a deep connection with Paraguay's history. The President of the Republic is now traveling to Burubizaroga, where he will continue his official agenda for the day after participating here in Paraguayan Navy Day. This ceremony, with its conclave and commitment, is now concluding. when we are already waiting here at this site, in this press area, to see if we have apparently a national war. When the farewell to the National War Flag takes place at this moment when all the authorities are withdrawing in this way, in what is the meaning of the national day of the Paraguayan Navy. There you go, comrades. Rest. Amen. We cordially invite all those present to share a toast in honor of the Paraguayan brotherhood, patron of the Admiral's Hall of Paraguay. He's not going to talk to you. Oh, Javiera, can you imagine? the signal. There were doubts about the response times, there were doubts about whether some prison guards actually entered Javier's cell. There were doubts as to whether it wasn't the agents, but rather colleagues of the other person deprived of liberty. And that was what was dispelled with a short, uh, material prepared for the media, but all the closed circuit footage, the hours before, the 24 hours before and the 24 hours after, are available to the Public Prosecutor's Office. And also, if the media said so, we have a Google Drive account because the material is very large so that they can access and evaluate that material that is available. What we are seeking here is to make everything that happened in the Hugo Javier case 100% transparent, and we are making the images available again, as well as the testimonial records of the prison guards. The first officer to respond to the call, the shift supervisor who comes up later with the radio, the health professional who also attends to Uvier, the person deprived of liberty who was in cell number six who is opened and who also comes to help Uvier because he is a paramedic who is within the social reintegration programs precisely working also in health. That is entirely available not only to the Public Prosecutor's Office, but also to all media outlets. I want to reiterate this and we're going to emphasize it. The Ministry of Justice is the institution most interested in seeing the case of U Javier clarified as soon as possible. The Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Justice, Rodrigo Nicora, are fully cooperating with the Public Prosecutor's Office, and an internal investigation is also being conducted in parallel to gather information to complement and in parallel with the Public Prosecutor's Office. So, we're going to have three documents that will talk about what happened with Hugo Javier: the internal investigation, the testimonial statement that the Public Ministry is summoning to all the officials and people involved with the Hugo Javier case. And then, in the third instance, the bed will be reconstructed with the prosecutor on site with the account of each of these people to see if there is any kind of contradiction in the versions that will already be presented. In this way an investigative act is constructed and we rely on and trust the work of the Public Prosecutor's Office and also the work of the doctors, because we must be very clear here. Javier's health status and diagnoses have been changing over the last two and a half days. On Monday morning we had a diagnosis of a possible cerebrovascular accident with a head injury that was already confirmed in the first phase. And that then shifted to meningitis, ruling out stroke, then the possibility was left open again , nothing is 100% closed. So, what we ask from the institution, from the Ministry of Justice, is to let the Public Prosecutor's Office do its job and have the necessary patience, because the complexity of these cases does not allow us to draw a conclusion after 48 or 72 hours. Yes, there are already indications of what may have happened, but we as the responsible institution are not going to draw any conclusions until the case is closed and we believe, we trust that Hugo Javier will recover and we hope that he can also give his own version of what happened. And we trusted that justice would prevail. How many people do you think participated in, or rather interacted with, Mr. Javier after he suffered this blow? Well, doing a quick count, I don't have the exact number, it's a very interesting question, but we have the two guard chiefs who are the first to arrive, the person deprived of liberty, there I'm counting three people, then comes the health pre-salon, there are six people and then two more prison officers come to accompany and when they go down to the exit there are two more people, plus the personnel from the transfer vehicle. Uh, we're talking about approximately 15 to 16 people. I don't want to venture to give an exact number because I don't have it on hand, but I can tell you that each of the statements of each of the people who were involved are documented and presented and also collected by the Public Prosecutor's Office. Now, Minister, with the report you received, the prison officials acted appropriately and rose to the occasion. Well, it's in plain sight. Uh, it took approximately 20 minutes between becoming aware of the fact, between the fact that less than 60 seconds had already passed when the cell was opened and Hugo Javier's situation was verified. And within 5 minutes we had three health personnel attending to Hugo Javier, already sitting him in a wheelchair so as not to move him and to send him to the health center. No time was wasted waiting for an ambulance because it was considered that he needed urgent attention. Then the decision was made to move him in the shortest amount of time possible. So much so that at 11:1 the fact was known and at 11:30 he was on his way to the Barobreo hospital. Minister, the criminologist Juan Martens commented via social media that, for example, Javier had a debt within the prison and also that his cellmate had to have assistance for alleged blows or alleged damages he had from blows to his hand. What information do they have about that? Oh, and also if it's true that his partner Celda had to receive medical attention. Well, the expert report from the Public Ministry is available, as well as the medical examination performed on the person deprived of liberty with the last name Jiménez, which I presented to the Public Ministry. He was undressed and inspected from head to toe, and the report has been submitted to the Public Prosecutor's Office. So, I want to be responsible with rumors, with conspiracy theories. Um, we need to focus on the factual information we have available and not talk about theory or rumors. If there is nothing proven, if we don't have evidence of what we are asserting, I ask that if people have any kind of reliable information, please be responsible and bring that evidence to the Public Prosecutor's Office. Let's not simply seek to gain prominence by going out and giving versions of issues that are not verified. Thank you all very much. The words of the Minister of Justice, Rodrigo Nicola, regarding the case of Hugo Javier, indicated that work continues to clarify what happened to Hugo Javier. This process includes an internal investigation, summoning witnesses and other individuals linked to the case to give statements, and subsequently a possible reconstruction of the events at the scene, to be carried out by the Ministry of Justice. The Minister stated that the corresponding investigations are ongoing and added that there is no definitive conclusion yet, urging prudence while the investigations continue. even you.
